Chorizo makes everything taste better! Cooked with the veg, it infuses your soup with spicy goodness.

Ingredients

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

125g chorizo, finely diced

6 skinless chicken thigh cutlets

Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to season

VEGETABLES

2 sticks celery, cut into 1cm-thick slices

1 red capsicum, diced into 1cm cubes

1 carrot, diced into 1cm cubes

1 red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, smashed

HERBS AND SPICES

6 sprigs coriander, roots, stalks and leaves all finely chopped

1 Tbsp smoked paprika

1 tsp dried oregano

LIQUID

3L water

ADDITIONS

2 Tbsp tomato paste

Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime

400g can chickpeas, drained, rinsed

GARNISH

Avo toast  

Sour cream

Dried chilli flakes

Coriander leaves

Lime wedges

Natural corn chips

Method

  1. Heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in a large, wide heavy-based saucepan over a mediumhigh heat. Add veg and chorizo. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until veg is just tender and chorizo is lightly browned. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

  2. To same pan, add remaining oil. Once hot, add chicken and cook, turning once, for 5 minutes or until lightly browned on the outside. (Chicken will not be cooked through at this time.)

  3. Return vegetables to pan.

  4. Add herbs and spices.

  5. Pour in liquid.

  6. Cover with lid and cook over a medium heat until simmering.

  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, still covered, for 1½ hours or until chicken is fall-apart tender.

  8. Remove pan from heat. Remove and transfer chicken to a chopping board. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool.

  9. When cool enough to handle, shred chicken meat off the bone. Discard bones. Finely chop chicken.

  10. Return pan to a low heat. Add chicken.

  11. Stir in additions. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.

  12. Ladle into serving bowls. Serve topped with garnish.
